Truck Drivers Wanted

The numbers of truck drivers wanted by the trucking industry are astounding. By the year 2010, some estimates predict that at least 600,000 more drivers will be wanted to fill jobs that will open up or be created in the next few years. So why is the demand for truck drivers so high? The answer is a combination of factors.

There are more than 239,000 drivers who are nearing or past retirement age in the industry, or roughly one-fifth of the driver base in this country. Also, the shipping and transport industries demand for OTR drivers has increased exponentially. Drivers are hauling more freight than ever. By 2016, total annual tonnage hauled by truck is expected to increase by nearly four billion tons. The current number of truck drivers simply can't fill this need.
